    What’s crazy is that this would be an insane and exhausting whirlwind trip, and you still wouldn’t even have scratched the surface of what Japan has to offer. It’s so broad and diverse, it’s really a whole other world unto itself.

      To be fair....many sights of Japan are copy/pasted from other areas of Japan. The temple architectures are very similar , the pagodas are virtually the same, Shrines are very similar. Japan has many seasonal events and local Matsuri during different times of the year.

    While Tochigi prefecture might not be the first name that comes to mind when thinking of Japan, it's actually a great place to live! Nikko is undeniably famous for its breathtaking shrines and temples, but Nasu, where I call home, offers a different kind of charm. Known for its stunning natural beauty, relaxing hot springs, and charming villages, it also boasts the Imperial residence. As a former golf enthusiast, I can't forget to mention that Nasu is also one of the most affordable places to golf in Japan, which definitely added to its appeal for me.

    My partner and I took this tour. It was totally amazing. We could only go up halfway up Mt. Fuji due to an avalanche. The guides were completely professional and kept us very safe. I would recommend this Japan; this tour to anybody who loves Japan. As we do even more so now.

      @marsfuture 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It was the same for me - I had planned my first trip for beginning of 2020, had all my travel vaccinations and everything, and then Covid struck and Japan closed its borders. That dream had to lay dormant until only recently when Japan finally fully reopened for tourists again, far later than any other country, really. I've now got flights and airbnbs set and also a JR pass already, and am flying in beginning of April and will hopefully still see cherry blossoms! You can make your dream come true, also! :)

      ​@@Beamin439 Haha, yeah - I did! I went for almost a month in April... it's crazy for me to say, but I actually didn't fall in love just like I had assumed I would... Despite me loving the culture and language and everything about Japan so much from the distance, for so many years.
      Tokyo overwhelmed me. In a good way, I really loved it and it's a truly awe-inspiring beast of a city. But it's prohibitive and somewhat closed - like Japan and the Japanese. I stayed 2 weeks, I think I should've stayed longer. Then I took the JR rail across the country for 10 days and visited Shikoku, Kzyushu und Kyoto on the main island, saw Nagasaki and Fukuoka and places on Shikoku.
      Here's the thing: Japan's infrastructure outside of Tokyo is crumbling. The country is bled dry financially and you see the wealth of a couple or three decades ago and that it's not growing now.
      Almost all Japanese towns look the same. It'd be hard to know where you are just by being in the center of town, aside from the resident castle or famous spot or mountain etc.
      I want to return and give it a second chance. I think it's a guarded place. It doesn't give itself too easily, or perhaps not at all.
      I would stay longer in Tokyo and perhaps only see one other town, also for longer then. Like, 3 or 4 weeks in Tokyo and 2 weeks in Kyoto, or something like that. Yes, it is amazing, but it might also be different than you imagine, it isn't all a magical place, it is a real place, with real issues, also.

Enoshima has wonderful winter illumination and you can see the sunset above the ocean and get a glimpse of Mt Fuji. Nikko is filled with temples and definitely warrants a visit, especially if you are not making it to Kyoto

      @@InakaAdventure I have had the opportunity to watch several of your videos and you have covered so much. I need to figure out now if I can fit in the Gifu region for this trip based off of your other YT videos on that area (or come back another time).
      I like to unpack and stay in places a bit if I can and IMO a place near historical Gion/Kyoto is now looking like 8 full nights. From that point experiencing the Japan train system for 5-6 days of journey's from 30 minutes to 3 hours away via train sounds fantastic to me. The problem is there seems to be dozens of journey's that fit into this category. This sounds magical compared to staying in the city of Osaka but since Osaka is so close by train we can go in and experience the world class restaurants/food of Osaka for lunch or dinner and get back to Kyoto to sleep. A video on staying in Kyoto and train traveling around might be awesome (but who knows it might be just because that is my preference for this trip) versus two days in Osaka, two days in Kurama, two days in Kanazawa, 2 days in Nara, etc the list goes on.
      Anyway back to watching more of your videos - HA.

It was great albeit pretty tight, but I was agile enough as I travelled solo. And of course you need a most detailed itinerary worked out in advance. I’d say Tokyo-Hiroshima route is the easiest choice for your first 1-2 week long trip, cos there are so many places to visit. If Japan ever opens again, I am going for 2 weeks at the very least.

So this 2019/2020 trip was ME, REWARDING ME, for doing something COOL. My only regret is I should have used the opportunity to publicize the trip with one of the Japanese TV Programs that focus on this kind of stuff. Well, the next time I have $10,000 to blow I think I’ll talk it over with some experts.

    From there we travelled to Kyoto to see the Fushimi Inari Shrine, then further to Himeji, to visit the famous white castle, then all the way west to see Hiroshima and the beautiful island of Miyajima and then further south to Kumamoto before returning all the way back to Tokyo for a few more days^^

      @@InakaAdventure I am really looking forward to visit Kyoto. As this is our first time visiting Japan, I was planning to stay in Tokyo and visit neighbouring places for 6 days, 4 days in Kyoto and 2 in Osaka, 1 day to travel back to Tokyo from Osaka and do something we missed out on that day if possible. I do not wish to fill up our itinerary with places and not get a chance to relax and appreciate wherever we are. So I was trying to figure what makes more sense and fine tune my plan.
      I have a question for you if you don’t mind. If we travel to more rural side of Japan, e.g Himeji castle, would not knowing Japanese be a problem?

    • @InakaAdventure

      Himeji Castle isnt rural at all, its about a 30 minute walk down the main street from a rapid stop, you can see it all the way from the train station actually, pretty cool little road. For Himeji you wont need Japanese at all, but in more rural parts yeah it always helps (but dont worry youll be able to get around alright)

    Great video - wish I'd seen it before I visited Japan 3 years ago..! One immediate comment I'd make is don't go for 2 weeks - if possible go for a minimum of 3 weeks. I personally found that my two weeks was, by far, too short..! I will be visiting again soon and it will be minimum of 3 weeks to be able to soak up so much more of this wonderful country. My route was a similar one to your video - Tokyo - Kyoto - Hiroshima - Osaka but you listed many, many places there which we either never knew of or lack of time prevented us visiting, hence I'm going 3 weeks next time. JR rail pass is a must - doesn't allow travel on some services but that never unconvinced us at all & the pass was well worth the money, particularly if going across Japan. We had mobile WiFi router as well - an absolute godsend & I'd highly recommend getting one. Only cost us about £35 for our 2 weeks & kept us in touch with relatives, Google, etc wherever we went. Hiroshima is a truly humbling experience & one I wanted to experience since I was a teenager all those many years ago. If you have always wanted to visit Japan - do it. You will never regret visiting this wonderful country.

      Japan is overrated. I just came back from Japan 2 days ago. I expected every place that I go to being the best food I ever had. It wasn’t. All the good restaurants have a super long wait. There is a huge huge language barrier. Japanese aren’t as tourist friendly as media portrayed. They are very to themselves and very clique. A lot of the real Japanese activities are japanese only. I tried booking a private onsen but the ryoken said Japanese only. Japan are very conservative, the people aren’t as friendly as the stereotypes suggested. I took public transit everyday. You would see not always see young people offering their seats to the elderly or those in need. While Japan is clean for the most part, in the alley ways, you can find cigarette butts in the streets. Japan doesn’t have individualism, everyone is expected to go with the social norms. If you are a foreigner trying to date in Japan, lol good luck. Dating culture is just sad, Japan has a huge “host” problem, it is the only country that girls get into shady business to pay for male host. While japan is a beautiful place to visit, it is pretty overrated.

The JR Pass has a maximum limit of 21 days for the longest option ( click.jrpass.com/SH5O ), but once inside the country there are also regional passes that can cover travel as well, such as the Tohoku and Kyushuu rail passes that are great value.

He is returning from the navy and is fully vaccinated meanwhile I have never received a single shot and am not vaccinated. Obviously you cannot predict the future with how the pandemic will sway, but in your opinion will we be permitted to go by that point in time? Keep in mind we haven’t committed to any set plans yet, (havent purchased any tickets, made any arrangements). Also, we would rather not pay for a tourism package and would like to free roam the country ourselves for most likely two weeks, anything that comes to budgeting whether that be living accommodations, food etc would be planned much prior from day of departure.

We will do it the other way around, starting off in Hiroshima and working our way up to Tokyo. This was very helpful and informative! We are looking forward to go! Have been waiting for 2 years! :)

      Awesome hope you have a great trip, one thing though is unfortunately the JR pass will increase in price from October. So you need to account for that, but I "think" if you buy one before October it will still be valid in Nov at the old price, but youd need to check their website to confirm that

    Hmmmm good video. Thorough insight, well done. This is a nice playlist to work your way through. However considering the different styles and themes of each of the areas in Japan it would be better, in my opinion, if the different sections of the video reflected their respective sections of the trip both in an auditory and visual capacity. This way views could both easily identify and associate each video section with the specific point in their trip and get a feel for the for the area of Japan they would be visiting on any given day, as opposed to simply being told. I am in no way saying you should film the trip yourself and realise it would be a hassle to make a video with my suggestions. This is just opinion. Hope you appreciate the insight.

      Good feedback and certainly wish I could devote more time and specifics to each area. The balance between getting all the info in, while leaving enough out so that people can enjoy it for themselves and also keep the video short enough that people dont get bored is a challenge for every creator. Ideally, I wish to make videos of each of these locations, then I can link those videos into this one so if there was one spot that people enjoy the most I they can see the video about that area.

      Can I ask if this JR pass link sells authentic JR passes? There are a few websites selling JR passes and I worry about which ones are authentic (no offence meant, just to be sure).

      This one is authentic, there are a lot of places you can buy them from though yes.

      @@yancyjarquin4683 And you still have to get the metro card. JR Pass also does not cover all the Shinkansen lines. Sometime is actually cheaper and faster to just fly from one city to the next using smaller domestic airlines. For example, Hiroshima to Narita flight is less than $100 while shinkansen cost around $150 and takes 2 to 3 times longer to get there. For JR Pass, you may want to get the Green Class (reserved seating) otherwise all 5 of you may end up in different carts and rows during peak travel time. Believe me...I speak from personal experience. Also, you want to use the luggage delivery service from hotel to hotel as it is considered rude to be dragging your luggage on rail and taking up all those space (with the exception of N'EX: Narita Express train), just like eating, talking on your phone, and conversing loudly on train is frowned upon in Japan.

      @@joyjoy534 I thought the luggage delivery services required about 2 days. How could you travel from one city to the next but not get your bags until 2 days later? Do the bags travel on the same train as you do? or are they delivered to your next hotel? Thanks for any info.

      Definitely takes more than 2 weeks to visit all those places. The only way to fit all that in and enjoy the visit if you have a helicopter and private limo on standby and there are no queue to get into all those places. Not to mention you won't be getting much sleep each day.
